All. But just for the AI for now (so basically, it's there in the files but not really used). Perhaps one day I'll write proper events for the players (especially for Germany). But I don't want to start something like that now.
So your mod still has free hands on this
Hey Hirz, just to let you know that in the sprites I posted the other day... there are lots of GER sprites.. tanks, infantry, mech, mot....
Just if you ever get the time... but maybe someone might take the trouble and help you out by doing them for you. Not me, too busy... but someone reading this might??

That was my intention...@Agis
Your work made me want to reintroduce special units in WIF vanilla.. So I just did
Well good job then
And please check your Skype messages when you have some time. I'd love to get you onboard.

I think the Frogmen could perhaps be Italian exclusive? Someone had mentioned similar units for other countries but you could say that the Italians were famous for the combat divers just like the Germans were feared for their heavy tanks. It might be interesting though for the other nations to have them, but perhaps Italy gets an event or something to get tech bonuses or the units themselves for free/minimal cost?
Thats awesome that you will add heavy tank battalions, I think they really earned their place of notice, some of their kill-to-death ratios are insane.
Hey any/all,
I've been working on some new counters at the request of Hirz and I wanted to see what you think of them.
The first is for the frogman unit. It is simply a trident. I couldn't really find anything else that is historical and would fit on such a small scale (13 pixels tall), so I just used artistic liberty to pick something that makes sense. If anyone knows of anything else that might work let me know.
The second if for the soviet guards. Its the red star with a gold wreath around it. The original insignia also had a flag over the top, but again, because of the size issues i had to loose it. I'm having a problem with the colors though. The red and yellow don't show up well in game. The star is the color of that countries counter, which isn't a big deal for the soviets, but the wreath is black. If anyone knows whats causing this and how to correct it please let me know.
The last is one I made to replace the RSD unit, or Hitlers HQ. Basic Iron cross.

*44 sorry, but yeah some of the other SS units are also a little too fast such as brandenbergers
I've noticed something about the Hossbach Memorandum event for Germany.
The event sets the mobilization slider to 7. However, it does this without any of the manpower increases that come with increasing your mobilization via the decisions. Consequently, if you have this event when your mobilization is set much lower, you will loose out on a significant amount of manpower.

changed it to that! DO you like it?
About super heavy arm brigade! The brigade already existsts in vanilla dh, what do you think about creating another model for 1942, which is only available for SOV and GER (simulating tiger II and KV I).
And 1944 you can build vanilla super_heavy_arm brigade!

Guys! I need your help!
Why do my graphics look like this!?
My graphics and unit folder is here:

Most likely because there is no icon graphic for that model number? A quick fix could be to copy some Italian Marines Icons and renumber them for whatever model number you're using for the Frogmen until new icons are created. I was wondering the same thing for the Scandinavian Ski troops? Did you create new icons for them?
Oh okay I think I understand what you mean. No for Skiunits I just took the soviet icons and renamed them !
Okay if any1 knows how to do new icons please tell me!

looks good, i think that will work fine for the hossbach mem.
OK, I think i see what your saying for the SHARM. So GER and SOV will be the only countries to have SHARM in 1942, and then starting in 44 all countries will be able to build them. I think that would work well. Would you make an entire new string of models so they can be upgraded, or will these be one off models?
And in response to your PM, I should be able to make the icon for this BDE. Most likely I will just copy the vanilla SHARM, maybe try to make it a little different.
I'm not so sure about sharm... I think I will work on this when I got rid of the icons problem. Maybe it's the best to create a new string of models
So there's probably no need to do a new brig symbol

I think that's a terrific idea. As the Char B example demonstrates, 'heavy' and 'super heavy' are relative terms so what was heavy in 1938 wouldn't pass as anything like heavy in 1942.
I think it would be more historical if you made it vanilla researchable in 1944 but put long enough research and build times on it so that a player would really have to tech rush to get units in the field before mid 1945. That said, we all know that the weapons systems in the game are fudges anyway (and pretty much have to be so), so for play purposes '44 aint all that bad.
I don't know your policy, but it seems to me that the new models are supposed to represent when that model was in operational service, as many tanks and aircraft existed as prototypes well before they become active in the game and IRL.
So I guess if a piece of equipment came into operationa'; service at least on a battalion level, it deserves to be a brigade come the time it historically went into service. A prime example would be the Tiger II coming into service in heavy tank battalions in 1944, so it should get a brigade within 1944. I suppose that in that regard, if you wanted you could have the Tiger 2 and the IS-2 share the same unit since they both came into service at about the same time.
